Missionary Moment - Chile Vina Del Mar Mission

Buenos días!

Gooooddd mornniinnnggg Vietnam! We are having the time of our lives down here in Chile! It was a pretty awesome week. Just pure working really. We had a baptism of a little one named Arturo a couple of weeks ago and this week we have another baptism of another little one named Valentina! The members of the ward counsel took a moment to thank us during one of our meetings the other day to thank us for the work that we have been doing. They have seen more baptisms with us here for 3 months than the whole last year and the year before combined. Now we have all of the members working with us so that we are working as ONE body and ONE mind. We are seeing a lot of miracles here than we have ever seen before. Even the mission president continues to talk about our sector in zone conferences throughout the mission! I love this work so much! Every day a new day! The Lord blesses us when we try our best to work hard and be diligent in all things.

We received our exchanges on Saturday! Elder Foster is going to the other end of the mission. And I will be training my third "son". Awesome guy from Florida, his name is Elder Moreno. I actually think he already speaks spanish, makes my job easier! I am super hyped up, I love training! Let's work these Mr. Macs off his feet. If I have to miss anything from Elder Foster it is that he always would make me like 5 pounds of spaghetti each night when I had to attend to my district leader responsibilities, and I had little time to make anything to eat (picture attached). I hope that he will be okay down there in the south. He is a wonderful missionary with a ton of heart and lots of love for the people.

I also have to make trips to other sectors every once in a while to check up on how my district is doing. The closest sector in my district is like an hour and a half a way. So we take our sweet time and sometimes even sleep in the bus if it isn't full to the roof! But I was able to spend some time with another Elder who will actually be ending his mission here at the end of this next transfer. We went on a walk and came across a little town called "Calingasta". Really just another word for "place for foreigners to escape the law". We met an 80 year old woman who is getting married this week...we kind of invited ourselves...carry on. Other than that we are just working like normal, well just working a ton and hoping for more miracles. 

Love you all! And I hope you all have a fantastic week!

Elder Jorgensen
